Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device that is weighted and securable to a limb of a body to assist in strengthening the limb to which it is connected. While the present invention refers to a finger weight it can be used to strengthen muscles or tendons in other parts of the body such as wrists or forearms.
  • the simple and efficient design forming applicant's invention can be quickly and easily attached and detached to the limb that is to be strengthened. Also weights can be quickly and easily inserted and removed swiftly to readily adjust the forces imposed on the limb.
  • the ease with which the device can be modified makes it very adaptable to be used when doing a variety of tasks such as walking, typing, exercising, bicycling, etc.
  • a finger weight device that is an integral unit that includes a finger receiving opening defined between an upper body portion and depending lower interlocking generally triangular flexible finger portions.
  • the flexible finger portions enable the device to handle fingers of various sizes.
  • the receiving opening can be made larger and designed to accommodate wrists, forearms, etc. of varying sizes by flexing the flexible finger portions that vary the designed opening accordingly.
  • the device can be made of a variety of plasties or other suitable materials.
  • the integral body portion is formed in its upper section with longitudinally extending cylindrical openings to receive weights that enable the device to perform its strengthening function when the limb to which it is attached is moved or flexed.
  • Separate cylindrical weights are located in the cylindrical openings and the walls of the openings include inwardly extending bumps to interact with grooves formed in the weights to positively locate them in place when the weights are positioned in their respective openings.
  • the openings are located in a generally triangular configuration but this is by way of example only.
  • the intermediate portion of the body which forms the upper ring section between the weight openings and the flexible fingers define longitudinally extending grooves that relieve pressure on the fingers when located in the ring section and improve circulation.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an embodiment of applicant's invention
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view similar to Fig. 1 showing the weights inserted in position;
  • FIG. 3 is a bottom view of the subject embodiment
  • FIG. 4 is a front view of the present invention without the weights
  • FIG. 5 is a front perspective view of the embodiment shown in Fig. 1 ; and;
  • FIG. 6 is a perspective view of a weight used in the invention.
  • a unitary body 10 having a lower ring portion 12 and an upper generally triangular weight receiving section 14 including cylindrical openings 16, 18 and 20 that receive the weights 2.2.
  • the lower ring portion 12 includes an upper section 12A located below the triangular section 14 that is relatively rigid and defines longitudinal grooves 24 that relieve the pressure on the fingers when in place in the ring section and improve the circulation through the finger. These grooves are placed around substantially the upper half of the ring portion.
  • the fingers 26, 28 allow the device to handle varying sizes of fingers.
  • the flexible abutting 26, 28 are generally triangular in shape to provide a relatively snug fit against the lower portion of the finger to assist in retaining the device in place relative to the finger.
  • the cylindrical weights 22 that are designed to fit into the openings 16, 18, 20. These weights are formed with grooves 32 that are positioned to engage with bumps 34 extending inward from the wall of the cylindrical openings 16, 18, 20. These bumps are shown in Figs. 4 and 5. When the weights are inserted the bumps 34 will retain them in place during usage of the device. Grooves 36 located at the outer ends of the cylindrical weights 22 provide for ease of gripping the weights to facilitate insertion and removal relative to the weight openings.
  • the device can be made any size desired to accommodate a wrist, an arm, etc.
  • the rods can be of any desired shape such as triangular, rectangular, etc. in which case the openings would be designed to accommodate the weight to be used.
  • the weights could be made of a variety of materials, i.e., plastic, etc. and any length to provide the weight that is most effective to accomplish the result desired.
  • the ratio of ring diameter to band length is not limited to that illustrated.
